Maybelline Baby Lips Electro Pop Lip Balm Oh! Orange,Pink Shock Review

After the previous normal Baby Lips and three new shades in that, Maybelline India has come up with Electro Pop Baby Lips.

What the Company claims: Give your lips an eye-catching neon twist with Maybelline New York’s Baby Lips Electro Lip Balms

Maybelline brings the ‘neon lip trend,’ spotted at New York and Paris Fall Fashion weeks to India by launching a range of bright, vibrant neon lip balms. Presenting the Maybelline Baby Lips Electro lip balm range, a collection of 4 electric lip balms – Fierce N Tangy, Berry Bomb, Oh Orange and Pink Shock, which moisturize lips while giving them a chic neon kick!

Enriched with Maybelline New York’s exclusive Botanical Cell Repair Concentrate and a blend of effective ingredients like honey, Shea butter and collagen, these flavoured lip balms hydrate and soften lips and keep them smooth for up to 8 hours. Smear on these eye-catching, glossy, neon lips balms and create your own Neon & Electro Style Statement!

Why you’ll love it:

• Has bright color pigments for an electric color effect
• Comes in Strawberry, Lemon, Orange and Watermelon flavours
• Enriched with an exclusive lip-renew formula, vitamins & moisturizing ingredients
• Visibly renews lips to make them plump, soft and smooth

Price: Fierce N Tangy-Rs. 135
Berry Bomb, Oh Orange, Pink Shock-Rs. 165

Fierce N Tangy is the non tinted one and the rest three are tinted. I love the packaging! Transparent cap and bright colors.

The formula is as smooth and moisturizing as the original Baby Lips. In fact this is slightly more creamier and glossy. I have Pink Shock and Oh! Orange with me.

Pigmentation wise Oh! Orange is not that pigmented and does not show up much on lips but Pink Shock is super! Its a very pretty bright pink,I use it almost everyday. Its my handbag staple and I also carried and used it during my honeymoon.

If you are a daily just a lip balm and kohl person like me, you will love this! Plus it did not re application again and again and kept the lips soft and supple even after it was gone and the tint remains for a long time too!!

L- Oh! Orange, R- Pink Shock

At this price point, something which moisturizes your lips and gives a nice pink color and leaves behind a tint too, I highly recommend this. I haven’t tried the Berry yet but absolutely suggest trying Pink Shock. But do not expect super bright color as shown in the ads or banners 😀

Chambor Moisture Plus Lipstick Hottie Plus Review,Swatches

Guest Post by Nisha

Hi Girls,

How is New Year going on? For me, it started with a bad health but as they say there is always a lipstick to cheer you up on those gloomy days. So today I bring you a pretty pink lipstick from Chambor.

What the Company claims: An innovative “dual action” formula with a nourishing core to hydrate lips and prevent dryness; surrounded by a soft, ultra-moisture colour coating for a smooth, radiant finish.

Today I am reviewing 344 Hottie Plus Chambor Lipstick which I had picked sometime back. I was looking for some nice Pink lipstick and I landed on this one from Chambor. I have always liked their dazzle eyeliners but never tried their lipsticks, so thought of giving this a try. Once I swatched it, I liked the pretty pink shade and thus bought it. It was an impulse buy, but thank god it didn’t disappoint me.

This has a good pigmentation and hence I use it according to the occasion. On days when I want a light sheer finish I swipe it just once and for more prominent effect I go with two swipes.

So I am just listing some reasons below, as to why I like this lipstick
• Nice pink shade
• Pigmentation is good
• Stays for 2/3 hours and then leaves a nice stain
• Formula is creamy and it is quite moisturizing
• Doesn’t settle in fine lines
• Great for regular use

However what I didn’t like about this :
• If you swipe it more, it feels heavy on lips
• I felt it be to slightly overpriced
• Transfers easily
• Packaging is quite old fashioned

Here’s how the shade looks on me and otherwise.

Price: Rs. 645

Rating : 3.8/5

This is a nice pink shade which is good for everyday use. It would be more suitable for girls with fair skin tone. Hope you liked this review. Let me know your thoughts by commenting below. Enjoy the winters and the New Year.

Pre Bridal Services (Body) at Lakme Salon-Review & Experience

Pre Bridal Services (Body) at Lakme Salon-Review & Experience

Hey guys,

I had got a few of my pre bridal services done at Lakme Salon on 2nd Dec before the wedding. I would be sharing my experience of the same but would divide the same into separate categories such as body,hair, etc for ease and convenience and not make the post too long.

I finished all the services in a day at the Lakme Salon,Bandra since I hardly had time left.

Starting with the body, I got white chocolate wax done. I had tried chocolate wax 1-2 times but never tried white chocolate. They start with a pre wax lotion that removes any body lotion residue, etc which sometimes is a hindrance while waxing.

White Chocolate wax was very very smooth and not at all sticky. It came out super quick with the entire area’s hair removal at once. No going over the area 2-3 times as happens with regular wax at times.

My full hands and legs were done in about 30-40 minutes which was quite quick. They also use a post wax astringent lotion which helps in closing the pores, which is very important for me since I have sensitive skin and open pores gives me bumps and rashes.

Then I went for Body Polishing which is an absolute must try for brides to be. They start with cleansing the body, followed by astringent and exoliating gel.

Since I had got my waxing done just before this treatment, I had to skip exfoliation as my pores were still open. A body scrub made of oats, papaya, etc was then applied on the entire body.

Left- Scrub,Right- Mask

Post cleansing of the scrub, a mask was applied consisting of sandalwood,fuller’s earth (multani mitti),etc with the steam machine on, on each area step by step. And it was kept on for a few minutes and cleansed with normal water later.

Skin felt super soft and smooth. I was so occupied with work on the last few days before the wedding that I hardly got time to look after my body skin. And that I guess would be the common problem with most of the brides. This treatment is perfect coz it compensates for your lost time and takes care of the body skin within an hour.

Highly recommended for brides to be and even for others,you can try it once in a while. Especially if you have ingrowth, etc, this would help exfoliate the skin and help in reducing ingrowth and getting rid of dead skin cells too.

The Mumbai Bride Diaries: Final Bridal Pictures

Hey guys,

I am sharing the bridal pics in this post today. Check out all the Bridal Diaries updates HERE, more about the Lakme Absolute Bridal Dream Team HERE and announcing Cory Walia as my bridal makeup artist HERE.

After the ‘bride in the making’ pics in the last post, here are the final pictures 🙂

One saree done :p I had to wear 2 sarees and one dupatta and all that jewellery amd manage walking,sitting, etc with that :/

The white saree shown in the above pic on the shoulder is the 2nd saree called the ‘Panetar’. And the dupatta, thank god the dupatta was not huge but still it was heavy.

Done with all three finally.

I loved the makeup! It was subtle and elegant, not overly done. No cakey foundation, the eyes were perfect and he used a burgundy lipstick on me which I never thought would look good on me, but he mixed 1-2 shades and the hint of pink looked nice.

Cory and his team did the hairstyle and jewellery placing also really well. Draping was the toughest coz two sarees were to be draped together where the red gharchoda is the main saree (Some Gujuratis have the panetar as the main saree and wear the gharchoda before the 4th phera) and panetar also goes together. They did it really well. Also they did the crisp gharchoda pleats with the help of a hair straightener! I had read about that tip but never got the chance to try it myself, finally it was tried on me 😀 And it really works in keeping the saree pleats together!!

Some random clicks..

Happy Cory

Happy us! Finally all done and went well

I am really happy I got this opportunity to get my bridal makeup done by Cory Walia and his team. Thanks to Team Lakme and Cory Walia for making my special day more memorable 🙂 And thank you everyone for all the love and support throughout <3

P.S: Its also our one month anniversary in an hour 😀

OOTD: Off Shoulder Black Printed Midi Dress

Hey guys,

Another OOTD, this time from the Andamans, Havelock to be specific. Our hotel Emerald Gecko was at Vijayanagar beach and had this private beach area (which most of the decent hotels in Havelock do). I clicked lots of pics there and the breakfast/dining area was also bang opposite the beach. You just feel like lying there whole day.

I wore this dress on my birthday. I know its too dressy for the beach, but we were heading out and it starts getting dark at Havelock around 4-4.30 and after 5 its like pitch dark. So we clicked the pics before heading out.

I love how this dress fits beautifully and is super comfortable. The off shoulder looks nice and the printed lower half with two pockets also works perfectly, though it looks like a separate top and midi skirt. I paired it with a statement necklace and a statement belt.

With my Daniel Wellington watch and black suede ankle strap wedges. And my favourite MAC Ruby Woo <3

Later we went to Kaala Patthar beach too which was very near to our hotel, we went there two days out of the three we were at Havelock. Kaala Patthar hardly had any crowd and was serene unlike Radhanagar which was quite crowded.

Leave everything behind!

The Mumbai Bride Diaries: Bride in the Making Pics

Hey guys,

Remember I had announced in my previous post that Cory Walia is my Bridal MUA who is a part of Lakme Absolute Bridal Dream Team.

Let me tell you I was very nervous. I thought he would be very moody types or something but I was so so wrong. He was very very sweet and warm. A very down to earth and jovial person. We both are Sagittarians :p We chatted a lot and he made me feel quite comfortable.

Starting with the goof ups, he and his team members Poonam and Priya already reached the venue at 9am even before we reached :/ And I still had to sit for the pre wedding mandva puja which took another 40 minutes or so. We had ample time to get ready so that was not an issue, but still I did not want to make him wait. He was very calm though and had his breakfast peacefully.

Later on when we started with the makeup, my jewellery box went missing. I was going nuts :/ My friends and family took rounds to home to check while all the time it was in the same bag right in front of us and no one could find it :/ Yes, all this usually happens on the day of your wedding. Something similar happened with my bhai’s sherwani on the day of his wedding 😀

Finally we found it, and untill that time we did the basic makeup,etc. Jewellery was required before hair for the maang tikka etc placing.

I also learned some tips and tricks for him. He said I am the first bride he is working on who knows so much about makeup and makeup brands and is so knowledgeable,that he loved doing my makeup 🙂

Here are a few pics of ‘in process’ :p

After the base, Cory used the Lakme Absolute Face Stylist Compact to set the base. He used the Face Stylist Blush Duos and Lakme Eye Quartet.

He made a slight wing with the Lakme Absolute Kohl Ultimate and lined the waterline too with it. (I love it too..was carrying only this liner/kajal for my honeymoon)

A small nazar ka tikka too with the Lakme Absolute Kohl Ultimate.

And last but not the least mascara..

We did not have flowers and Cory wanted to add them to the bun, so he went and got some flowers from the wedding mandap 😀

And with the jewellery..

I will show you the complete look with the two sarees and the dupatta and more pics with him in the next post 🙂

OOTD: On the Streets of Hong Kong (Lavender Sweater, Pastel Blue Blazer)

Hey guys,

Finally I am resuming work slowly. Still settling down though,hopefully in a week or so I would be back to my regular posting. For now, here is one of my outfit posts on the streets of Hong Kong.

These shots are taken on the road below our hotel, at The Sky Terrace i.e. the highest point of Hong Kong and Madam Tussauds 😀 It was super fun clicking pics with few of the wax statues.

It was around 12-13 degrees there with cold breeze which was slightly intolerable for me. I needed layering and this sweater + light blazer was the perfect combo to keep me warm. Everyone in general in Hong Kong and Macau wore sweaters/jackets/trench coats/sweat shirts or some or the other kind of layering.

I accessorized with a pearl and spiked bracelet which I more or less was stuck to on most of the days since it looked good and worked with everything 😀 A classic Daniel Wellington Watch and a neon diamante statement necklace.

Since we walked a lot, I chose flats on most of the days and these mint Bata slip ons (shown HERE) stayed with me on all the days. They were so so comfortable, I cam back to these after trying 1-2 others in between.

I loved the pastel on pastel combo and the neon necklace and the bright lipstick adds a pop to the outfit. The blazer is cotton chambray and super light and comfortable, still keeps you warm and the folded floral sleeves look so chic!

I am a wax statue 😀
